Q:- “If everything is consciousness, what will happen after death?

Santthosh Kumaar:~ If you had asked the same question to me in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. In the same way, the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.

You are the waking entity. You are not the Self. The world in which birth, life, and death take place is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

The world in which you exist appears as the waking experience (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one that appears as waking or dream (duality) and the one that disappears as deep sleep (nonduality) is consciousness.

Wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The one, which is born, lives, and dies in the world, is not the ‘Self. The ‘Self is the invisible Soul is birthless and deathless because it is the ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

If the Self is not you but the invisible Soul, then why do you worry about what happens after death, because your present experience of birth, life, death, and the world itself is merely an illusion.

If you think this world is real, then:~

A person who stamped his foot on the ground to refute, to show the world, is real, ignores that in the dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.

When you finally realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you, your experience of birth, life, death, and the world merely an illusion created out of consciousness; consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but it is unreal, in the sense that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the illusory world; they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

In Self-awareness, the witness and the witnessed are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Thus, whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person is a reality within the waking experience (duality), but waking experience (duality) itself is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Without the waking state, consciousness will prevail as consciousness, which is nondualistic existence. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
